You know if they don’t post a vid showing off some shiny new submersible soon, then they probably went about it in the jankiest way possible

100 meters is pretty deep for scuba diving too…

diving bell maybe?
Sniper rifle from the surface

Regular bullets fired out of regular firearms basically disintegrate in water. Counter-intuitively, putting more energy into a bullet only worsens the results, making it stop even faster.

Underwater firearms do exist, but they are not common, and even they have incredibly limited range. As far as I know, none have effective range greatly exceeding 50 meters, let alone 100.

Whoosh, that was not a serious suggestion. More on the noncredible side, as a fact.
